Is there anything special about your disk setup that might cause issues with the very last sector? Some motherboard RAID and other types of things store their metadata in the last sector, and can clash with GPT, although those are supposed to make the logical drive 1 sector smaller so that this doesn't happen. Is that NL4VM-DH using UEFI? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
